Doctor in So. MD?

[Sportstud4891]

So I haven't been to a regular doctor in years (closer to a decade). Won't go into why or why not so let's just say that I ask a lot of questions and expect doctors to listen to the patient especially when the patient knows that the doctor's diagnosis is wrong.

Anyways, can anyone recommend a good doctor in southern maryland and if you feel like it, explain why you like that doctor?

If you go to Marylandmark, he will probably ask about your guns.....

I've been seeing Dr. Kramer in Charlotte Hall @ Shah associates for nearly 14 years. No complaints, except she keeps getting on my butt about a few things.

Waldorf. Maryland Healthcare Associates. (Old Line Center.)

Dr. Arnel Castrence (Pronounced = Kas-tron-say)

301.705.7870
Office opens at 8:00 a.m.

Call and make an appointment.

He's slow. He's thorough.

Highly recommend him.

Males- I'm a big fan of Dr.Smith at Maryland Healthcare Associates in Waldorf. I question every thing and he has an acceptable answer to why we are doing what every time. He doesn't know I own a medical practice and that I run every thing he says and does by over a dozen of our staff.

Johns Hopkins in White Plains is highly recommended as well but I've never been to them.

No recommendation for Jim Harring?

Ditto on Dr. Smith.

My wife worked with him for awhile in the emergency room. He is a real good doctor and will will take time to listen and explain everything to you.

I would however due to this...

.....I don't think it would work out. Although, I hear in Maryland now we can choose our gender.....

Old thread , but another thumbs up for Dr Smith.

Yes old thread but, an important issue and so I'll add:

Now that they have "gone from a 3 physician practice to >100+ doctors" I am sure there are some competent practitioners associated with them however,

I can highly recommend Dr. Wm. Jones in Shadyside, MD but, that zip code isn't exactly So. MD so may not be of any good to you, OP (still, that I am still more than willing to drive from Solomons to Shadyside after a decade and a half may say something!
